The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl last year despite coming off their worst regular season performance since 2009: after averaging a ridiculous 12.75 wins per season between 2010 and 2017, the team ‘only’ went 11-5. It was still enough to secure New England its tenth straight division title as well as a first-round playoff bye, however, and thus to lay the groundwork for another championship run.
Patriots fans are not just looking forward to seeing more of the same in 2019, they are expecting an improved regular season performance by the club.
